For those of you who have never played Pokeno...well, neither had I....at least, not until I moved to Bangalore. I already have plans of bringing this fun game back to the US and starting it up with a group of friends from home!
A Kiwi friend of mine (that means someone from New Zealand!), Megan learned how to play the game when she lived in Malaysia and she brought the game with her to Bangalore and taught us all how to play. Think Bingo meets Yankee Swap and you've pretty much got Pokeno. We meet once a month on a Friday night and eat and laugh and eat and laugh and eat and laugh. You get the idea! It's been a great way to get to know people from all over the world! YAY FOR POKENO!!

The "Original 12" Ladies!
We've seen members of our group come and go but this was the initial group!
So annoyed when someone steals your "Fancy Lantern" ;0)
When you almost have Pokeno (4 in a row but not 5) you say, "Fishing" This card is fishing, fishing, fishing AND fishing but still wasn't a winning game! :0/
Everyone in the group takes a turn at hosting and I recently had my go at it. We had CRAZY power cuts all night long but that didn't stop us. We played by candle light and used cell phones to see our playing cards until the power came back on.

Daleen yells, "POKENO!"
Forget "Poker Face" we've all got on our very serious "Pokeno" faces!

Uh Oh! Power's Out...Meghan is that you!? |
Thanks girls for a fun night!
And Thank you Megan for sharing your past Pokeno experiences and bringing the game to Bangalore and teaching us all how to play!!
